A new kind of freakonomics

Following on my dismay at the local library systems cutting back on hours & charging fees, the NY Times reports that school districts around the country are choosing to close libraries they can’t afford to staff.

We are living in sad, sad times when administrators have to decide between offering kindergarten or libraries, while legislators at every level are falling all over themselves giving businesses & billionaires big tax breaks.
